If you pre-orderd the game from Best Buy and you cancel your pre-order, they will end up charging you $19.99 for the beta code.
That can't be legal

Yep you'll need to get in contact with a Community Person on their support boards to get it refunded. I had canceled 3 preorders and was dinged with this but i was able to get it refundedJust thought I'd provide a PSA to people here.

Break their shield and melee will kill in 1Feeling super squishy as a Warlock. Is there a reason it takes 3 melee hits to kill an opponent when it only takes 2 for them to kill me from full? Hoping its just me because this shit's happening consistently now.
Also is there a way to get Upgrade Points in the beta?
You feel squishy because you are! The default warlock armor setup is zero resilience. You can change that via the perks and new armor pieces.Feeling super squishy as a Warlock.

Played for 10hrs 7 of them crucible and me and my friends fell in love all over again. All the one hit kill abilites are gone, TTK is fantastic with primary gun play being encouraged and teamwork is rewarded with team shooting others. I hope they don't touch any of the weapons damages right now because they finally feel balanced and skill with any weapon can win a gun fight.
I'm so happy to be playing Destiny again with no two taps and grenade spamming.
I moved the "Look Sensitivity" from 3-to-6 and it felt much better and more like the current iteration of Destiny to me. May or may not help others.
Part of the issue here is the fact that we don't have our tweaked/perfected loadouts that we're used to but yes, something definitely feels different with the overall gunplay in the "Beta."
They've definitely tweaked something about the aiming and hit responses for the worse. The weapons in the beta also seem less satisfying to use than in D1. The absolute best points of D1 feel less stellar this time around.
No, this feels pretty wack compared to the first Destiny in this regard.
It's like the list of things they should have changed and the list they absolutely should not have got mixed up.
Excluding Specials they're still one hit kills. I meant grenades and such.Is that true? I was playing a hunter in crucible, and I killed someone with golden gun. Did I have to hit him twice?
Oh, and when Zavala says fall back in my shield, do it.
Last, still unsure about the new weapon system. Having two primary weapons felt...off.

No, do not do this. Run AWAY from Zavala. The mission is actually kind of stupid once you realize -
1) Zavala doesn't do anything and does not need to be protected.
and
2) The missiles go directly at him. If you stay even a little away from him you're safe. The farther the better.
He's completely pointless.
Its energy weapons not solar weaponsI knew stickies didn't kill in 1 stick anymore (BOO), but....it takes 3 punches to kill someone?
....argh!!

Agree with you on the weapon slots, though, but it's not "primary". It's kinetic, solar, and power.
Having a solar Auto Rifle and a Kinetic Auto Rifle, but them being in two different slots, is annoying as it's restricting in a wholly different way. Not hugely, obviously, but .... annoyingly..
Not really. You have a great vantage point and cover on that ledge he's on and can easily take out every wave from there. If you're on that ledge with him his shield will protect you completely from the missile barrage anyway.No, do not do this. Run AWAY from Zavala.

Yeah, typo. Meant energy. Had the kinetic and solar example I was going to use later in my head and just type-farted.It's energy weapons not ”solar" weapons

But it doesn't really matter it's just the opening mission so it's no exceptionally difficult and yes, at the end of the day he's there to add something neat to the mission for fans but there's nothing wrong with that and I damn sure hope they do more of it.
I played some team that had a clan name like Trump Voters or something.
They got wrecked.
Felt nice to virtually beat up racists.

Just got done work and jumping on.
What did I miss
What do I need to know
Does it have hdr
I feel like they are taking away things that made Destiny unique for the whiny PVP crowd again if you don't want shooting and great powers play COD or some other shooter but space magic and feeling powerful is what made Destiny great and why I play on both consoles with 3000+ hrs of play time since day one.
I think it has HDR but not sure
How are the new classes?
Will jump in when the Beta opens up to non preorders, but i'm a bit bummed out that the Nightstalker and Stormcaller calsses are gone. Couldn't we have kept them over Bladedancer and Voidwalker?
I kind of want to just say to hell with the strike and explore Nessus, but that would be mean to the team. Found some Fallen earlier.
This beta is quickly reminding me how much I loved Hand Cannons in the first game. This just feels fun and satisfying to use.
...So when can I get my Thorn back?
Glad I wasn't the only one.They feel the strongest in the beta damage wise
They really do especially the exotic one you use as a hunter it's very nice. Pulse and scouts are F'ed up though and feel super weak.They feel the strongest in the beta damage wise
Several things have to change. Supers take too long to come up many of the weapons feel off scouts pulse rifles don't feel right at all the hand cannons felt ok and the exotics felt goods. Everyone loving the lack of abilities or how slow they are that's what made Destiny special if I wanted pure gunplay only I'd play COD this is Destiny right now things feel off. I did like most of what I played but some things just need to be fixed supers power ammo drops warlock jump is way to floaty now.

It really takes way to long for supers right now and that's just lame. And the enemies seem even more spongy than ever. I hope they will undo some of this crap.

All the complaints I'm reading look like positives to me. A greater focus on gunplay and less on supers / power weapons is exactly what I wanted.
